Workshop: Writing Witches: Character, Worldbuilding & Magic Systems

Returning by popular demand after two sold-out workshops in 2025.

This workshop, run by Tiffani Angus, co-author of the multi-award-shortlisted Spec Fic for Newbies series, will delve into the contradictory ways that witches have been depicted in literature and pop culture and will also explore the three main elements of stories about witches and how you, as a writer, can tap into them to create a new story idea.

There will be activities! So make sure you have your laptop ready or pen and notebook to write down ideas and do some freewriting to start on a new story.
